Controversy


The film has generated significant controversy due to its sensitive subject matter. The film's critics argue that it defames Bengal, resulting in several fatwas being issued against it. Additionally, director Sanoj Mishra has expressed fears for his safety after being summoned by the Kolkata Police, stating concerns that he might be killed. The film's trailer further sparked controversy. Following these allegations, the West Bengal Police issued a legal notice to director Sanoj Mishra. In August 2024, after he had not been seen for eight days, it was reported that Mishra had relocated to Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh for fear of "police action" related to the film.
Shaikh Maulana Rajani Hasan Ali, the vice-president of Shia Ulema-e-Hind Lucknow, a board of Shia Ulamas, said that the production aims to tarnish the image of Islam and of Mohammad.




Release


The trailer was released by Rambhadracharya on 12 August 2024.
The Calcutta High Court rejected a petition to block the release of the film in West Bengal, but as of mid-August 2024, no cinemas in the state had plans to screen it.
